That work is why we have TTL and not SUHL ICs.<BR/><BR/>There was an integrated circuit mfg. facility in the plant. I remember seeing people carrying trays of silicon wafers around by hand.<BR/><BR/>I was also playing with CK722s in the late 50s in my basement lab.<BR/><BR/>==<BR/><BR/>If you watched the video I believe you saw a sheet of the stuff coming out of their machine (or was it a photo?).<BR/><BR/>They are also working with ONR so maybe all their initial production is spoken for. They may be selling their output. Just not to the "public".M.

The manufacturer was Raytheon.<BR/><BR/>I'm tired of all these companies that only ever issue press releases but don't actually have a working product. Even if it's expensive, that part can change. <I>But first you have to have a shipping product.</I>Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015219452269186971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-40298661292292292022008-05-01T04:49:00.000+00:002008-05-01T04:49:00.000+00:00There was no place you could actually order a tran...There was no place you could actually order a transistor in 1949 either.M.
